LATEST NEWS (22-Jun-24)
I regret that the webserver has been off for most of the day, due to an incident
involving a young hyperactive dog, named 'Poppy'. Poppy accidentally got her paws
caught in the network cables as she ran around the flat, looking for the crumbs and
morsels that I drop when I get one of my snack cravings. When she became confused
as to why her paws were dragging, she then panicked and ran, taking the cables with
her. Computing equipment fell from tables and onto the floor. I didn't know that
hazel (the webserver) had gone off
until I attempted to view the site while I was at Elly's, about half a mile away.
When I returned and saw that hazel was down, I feared that there was a break in the
power cable and I took the unit apart and inspected it for damage. I also checked the
USB-C power socket and all looked okay. All that had happened was that Poppy had
somehow flipped the power switch (she's a smart dog) and I had forgotten to press
it to power the unit up again. The Raspberry Pi 4 doesn't have a power switch, but
the new case - an Argon One V3 - has one, and it also has a fan, passive cooling
(other than the fan) and it looks very smart. Buy one today! Don't forget to buy
a Raspberry Pi 4 as well.
